I am here for Friends

About Me

I was born in the mountains, but raised piedmont of the Great State of South Carolina; a regular Son of the South. Ironically, my parents are from St. Augustine, which was the Capitol of Spanish Florida and rival of the premier English Colony. Here's a website that will explain it all... http://www.dangly.com/nassaucounty/People/minorcan.htm I look English, but in my pictures you will see my brother, who looks quite Minorcan. Yes, we have the same mama, and the same daddy for that matter. My ancestors are responsible for slingshots and mayonnaise, and if that ain't country...AIM pmoneyshot MSN RPP_3 YAHOO gamecockfourlife SKYPE rppellicer
